This is a form of confectionery usually packaged in a bar or log form, often coated with chocolate, and sized as a snack for one person. Within that term, a variety of products exists, ranging from solid chocolate bars to multiple layerings or mixtures of ingredients such as nuts, fruit, caramel, or fondant containing no chocolate.
